SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 705,669, dated July 29,1902. Application filed January 15,1901. Berlal No.43,361. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SOPHUs CHRISTOPHER HAUBERG, director, of 32Tagensvej, Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements Relating to Liquid-Separators, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to liquidseparators; and the object is anarrangement for keeping in position the inner structure thereof. Theresult aimed at is to fix the said structure in such a manner that inspite of placed. Even a very slight displacement of the inner structureduring the rotation would make the drum side-heavy, which might bringabout a breakage of the driving-spindle and expose the attendants to thegreatest danger. In balance centrifugal separatorst. a, separators inwhich the drum is placed looselyon the top of the driving-spindle-anabsolutely firm fixing of the inner structure is of vital importance.This kindof separators, which, after all, are the only separators freefrom danger, may only be used in connection with inner structures if thesaid inner structure is firmly fixed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,Figure 1. is a View in vertical section, illustrating my improvements;and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on a plane through line A B ofFig. 1. p

In both figures like letters of reference wherever they occur indicatecorresponding parts.

a and I) represent, respectively, the upper and lower parts of theseparator-drum, which are screwed'together. the two parts there isarranged on the inner side of the drum a groove into which a plane edgeZ of the conical plate d, that carries the partitions 0, may beplacedand held when the two parts a and b are screwed tightly together. Thepartitions 0 have the sameconical shape as the plate 01 and are placedbelow this one. Below the bottom one of the partitions is arranged athicker conical platef, of the same shape as thepartitions c andprovided with a cylindrical feed-pipe g, passing up through apertures inthe partitions and through a cylindrical hole in the upper part of theplate d, projecting above the upper edge of this plate. The upper partof the pipe g is screw- Between the rims of be pressed tightly againstone another and against the fixed plate (1. The partitions are inwell-known manner supplied with lugs or the like for preventing theconical surfaces of the partitions from lying too closely to oneanother. These lugs are not shown on the drawings.

When the inner structure of the separator is fastened to the'plate dinthe above-described manner, the edge Z of this plate may be insertedbetween the two parts a and b of the drum and kept in a firm positionwhen the said parts are screwed tightly together.

The separator is, for the rest, arranged in the usual manner. The platef is guidedby a gudgeon 7t, fixed to the bottom of the drum b andprojecting into a cavity in the platef. The upper part a of the drum isat thetop terminated in a cylindrical neck m, which is provided at topandbottom with two annular plates 92 and 0. Through atube p, placedinside the part a and attached to theplate 0, the milk is led fromtheseparator to the space between the plates or and 0 and thence throughthe pipe q to the exterior. Diametrically opposite the tube p andbetween the plates at and 0 is placed a halfcylindrical tube 1', throughwhich the cream that has come into the space i through the openings 8 inthe con ical plate at is led up above the plate at to the exterior.

Having now particularly described and as certained the nature of thissaid invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declarethat what I claim is-- I 1. In a separator of the character-herein soforth, in combination, a two-part outer drum, an inner conical plate,and conical partitions attached to said plate, the lower margin of thesaid plate being clamped between the upper and lower parts of the drum,substantially as and for the purposes explained.

2. In a separator of the character herein set forth, in combination, atwo-part outer drum, an inner conical plate of which the lower margin isclamped between the two parts of the drum, conical partitions, a secondconical plate Within the drum, a central feed-pipe, a nut upon the topof the latter, and a gudgeon In testimony that I claim the forgegoing asmyvinvention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribingWitnesses.
